Dude thats so fuckin frustrating :/

I think the word interoperating kinda precludes the description being accurate to a hypervisor also

With a hypervisor they operate simultaneously, but he did say interoperating 🤷🏻‍♂️

From the other thread it seems it’ll just be disabled by default, and enableable if wanted

Infinite jukebox has more complex looping and I think is just a website, but its super cool. I haven’t used it for ages, but it may be worth checking out

Cute! The way you drew his face and his ears poking out reminds me of a little sheep

I don’t script so not me, but I’ve heard a lot of people really like it for scripting, since the language is more thoughtfully designed around that usecase. You give up some portability and ability to run them anywhere, but if you’re making them just for yourself my impression is that fish can be a great choice for scripting in

Plus, like the other reply said, if you’re already using fish (like me :) you may choose to script in fish since thats your chosen shell

Its always nice seeing your posts around sunshine, if you celebrate it I hope you have a lovely Christmas. If you don’t, or celebrate something else, I hope your day is lovely all the same ❤️

I’ve never played factorio in my life but I want one 🥹

I’d name him pippin.

I feel this kind of messaging is infinitely more effective in reaching new people than all the linux stuff aimed at people who made the switch comfortably 30+ years ago from a position of a fair bit of technical competence

Thanks for posting this for anyone who might have been overwhelmed at the prospect of installing a new OS altogether, but was interested and wanted to find ways to dip their toes in the water or take baby steps :)

That its a familiar operating system that people know how to use and dont need to learn how to install, and doesn’t come with new challenges to figure out or the occasional issue they won’t know how to resolve

For those of us who have been using linux for ages and had the technical ability to make the switch its easy to forget how daunting that can be for an average end user who just wants their computer to work when they need it to and ignore any of the finer details

I think there’s value in speaking to folks who might have an interest in Foss but are intimidated to take the leap to linux outright, and remind folks they can always try new programs within the familiar environment of their existing os :)

Suprised folks are suddenly engaging with this again, did something happen thats been putting this in front of people? Radiofreefedi has sadly shut down in the last year

The indie beat is now the same kind of idea, but I haven’t found as much stuff there I’m really into https://theindiebeat.fm/

The electronic frontier foundation has some really fuckin cook sticker designs, highly recommend!

Sometimes I come across cool stuff via the #stickers, or #fedigiftshop on mastodon

I want linux phones to be viable so friggen bad

Wow, I didn’t realize that

My dead dad could use it and he was a moron.

I really was not prepared for that sentence 😅

Thats not because of transistor, thats because sadly radiofreefedi stopped operating sometime in the last year. The indie beat now serves the same purpose, but I’ve not found as much stuff I’m into there

Hope you’re having a lovely day :)

My thoughts were more about the article itself than it being posted here. Being an article it could really easily be something that comes up when someone is trying to figure out whether they can make the switch and are doing their research on pros and cons

I think personally I also just really don’t enjoy snarky in-group humor, it feels like it often just fosters resentment for those outside of the ingroup. So I do kinda have a bias in general

I’m really glad it seems like my thoughts have been appreciated, I was kinda mentally preparing myself for people to be unhappy with me

I find this kind of stuff frustrating enough I needed to edit my first version of the comment cause it was angrier, but I want people to actually hear me out and think about the culture we cultivate in the foss space. It really matters.

There are so many issues people care about (eg. Software freedom) specifically because we want a world that is kinder to people, and then we act on that value or interest in a way that isn’t kind to people. A little empathy goes a looong way

Thank you for the kind words, I hope you have a lovely day :)

As a long time linux user, antagonizing people who are unsure if the switch is right for them is very clearly a poor interpersonal choice that will not result in the change we wanna see in the world, or more people adopting linux

Fuckin seriously, we can do better than this circle jerk. As someone who cares deeply about software being kinder to people it pains me enormously how much of a dump stat interpersonal skills are for so much of the Foss community

If the authors wanna pat themselves for linux they can do it without creating a unempathetic, condescending, preachy culture that alienates people.

Just call the article “things we love about having switched to linux” so it finds the right audience and its fine, but this shit sucks and its exactly the kind of crap that has made so many of my friends resistant to hearing what I think is good and special about Foss software. They hear me out anyway, but I’d love for it to not be a fucking uphill battle because Foss people routinely emulate the same preachy, condescending, unempathetic interpersonal apprach that everyone bemoans about the worst vegan spaces online
